Plasma-Cell Dyscrasia and Peripheral Neuropathy with a Monoclonal Antibody to Peripheral-Nerve Myelin
Abstract
PERIPHERAL neuropathy has been associated with plasma-cell dyscrasia, 1 but it is not known whether the monoclonal immunoglobulins react with peripheral-nerve antigens. We report on a patient with a peripheral neuropathy associated with an IgMk monoclonal protein, in whom pathological and immunological studies indicated that the IgMk antibody was directed against peripheral-nerve myelin, as shown by complement fixation and immunoabsorption.Case ReportThe patient was a 45-year-old man admitted for evaluation of a slowly progressive sensory-motor neuropathy of 11 years' duration. On examination there was moderate to severe weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the hands and distal parts of . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
